EXORCIST, THE (1973) 29169 Horror Movie Poster Design by Bill Gold

Original U.S. One-Sheet Poster (27x41) Folded Very Good Plus to Fine Condition

Warner Brothers Original One-Sheet Poster (27x41) for the seminal horror film THE EXORCIST (1974) directed by William Friedkin and starring Ellen Burstyn, Lee J. Cobb, Linda Blair, Max Von Sydow and Jason Miller. The film created a sensation when it was released and spawned many movies which hoped to garner it's audience. Released the day after Christmas day in 1973, the film ran through much of the first part of 1974. (Our poster is rubber stamped "1974" on the reverse side, but it is clearly original.) It's hard to overestimate its affect on audiences in 1974. The response to the film was sensational. A young girl is believed to be possessed by a demon (Satan?) and a priest with exorcism skills is called to a Washington D.C. townhouse to rid her of it, but not before scaring the very devil out of an audience not prepared for the cinematic manipulation and tricks that Friedkin had up his sleeve. A very profitable film for Warners. This one sheet poster was used in a theater and shows some signs of general wear, including small holes in the corner border areas and some scribbling on the reverse side. MovieArt Austin guarantees this poster to be the authentic one-sheet poster for this film. MovieArt Austin will sell NO reproductions.
